New Mexico State Police took over the search for Corbin Hayes, who disappeared in the river near a Rio Rancho subdivision Thursday afternoon.

Rio Rancho police said Hayes was apparently swimming in the river when the current carried him away. His brother told police Hayes was pulled beneath the surface, popped up a few times and then disappeared from sight.

Beverly Aranda's son plays baseball with Corbin and she knows his family.

"I was listening to the news and I heard a boy was lost. I heard the name 'Hayes,' I looked at the TV and I saw Corbin's face," said Aranda. "I knew I couldn't just stay at home. I knew I had to come out here and see if there is anything I can do."

Helicopters, boats, hovercraft and crews on both foot and horseback, as well as K9 crews helped in the search Thursday night.

"Once it gets dark, there are a lot of hazards on the river banks as well as the river itself, so we want to make it safe for the personnel out here," said commander Marty Giron.

He said early summer is an especially dangerous time to be near the Rio Grande due to the high water levels and quick currents.
